Imperials or Stormcloaks?

[thiosk]

As a dark daedric cultist wizard, I have no interest in any of the divines, let alone this SO-CALLED TALOS. Imperial rule is good for skyrim, and the study of magic flourishes under strict rule of law.

I will feast upon the stormcloaks hearts.

 

[Mordekaien]

I went with stormcloacks, because you can get a BEAR helmet... that's all the justification I need. I mena, come on, it's a Motherfucking BEAR HEAD on top of your skull.

 

[Erttheking]

My Imperial swordsman sided with the Empire because,

A, the stormcloaks tend to be hostile to him. (I swear if I hear "stay out of trouble Imperial" one more time)

B. He is from the Empire capital city therefore feels loyal to the Emperor.

C. Doesn't want the Empire to fall to pieces.

In reality the whole thing is Gray and Grey morality, it's all about making up your own mind.

P.S. I still kill Thalmar Justicars when I see them

 

[Ethan Asia]

The Imperials. I like Empires.

The Stormcloaks are racist, Nazi, assholes. Ulfric challenged a teenager to an "honorable duel" and then blew him away with his shout power. Challenge someone to a duel and pull out a gun, see how heroic you are.

Oh, yeah, and how about the fact that HIS CITY IS A GIANT SLUM!? The Argonians are segregated and the Dunmer are constantly discriminated against. These two races HATE each other, and yet somehow they band together in being hated by Ulfric and his followers. When you complete the Imperial part, what does his replacement do within HOURS of taking the position? Oh, yeah, fix the racial problems, and offer sanctuary for the Jarls who supported Ulfric.

Finally,

Spoiler

Ulfric is an agent of the Thalmor. He was captured by them during the war and now he is an agent of theirs, causing the civil war to destabilize the Empire.

Fuck Ulfric and his Aryan "Sons of Skyrim".

Ohh how i wish i hadn't read that spoiler ;_;

Spoiler

Ulfric isn't actually a Thalmor agent- he's described in their dossier as an 'uncooperative asset'. He was mentally conditioned but won't really help the Thalmor. His hatred of the Empire probably stems from this.

Oh, and the High King of Skyrim wasn't actually a teenager. He was just described as a 'boy' as an insult. Look at how old his wife (the Jarl of Solitude) is.

Spoiler

You meet him. He really is a god.

Spoiler

Yes, you meet him and he is one of the aedra. I stand by my statement that this was a stupid decision and he still isn't worthy of worship. Mehrunes Dagon, Boethia, and Namira all exist and have just as much claim to godhood as Talos, and none of them deserve to be worshipped either.

Though, considering how his blood was used in Oblivion, that should be obvious.

Again, I'm not asserting that lore-wise he is not an aedra. I'm asserting that he is less worthy of worship than just about every other aedra, and quite a few of the daedric princes.

 

[Vrex360]

I support the Imperials and the Empire because I am a proud and mighty Argonian and I see no reason to support a group that seems to want some kind of racially pure Skyrim. I've seen how my people and the Dark Elves have been treated by Ulfrich and his rabble and I'll gladly fight to never allow them to have power.

 

[Pandabearparade]

Considering all the shit real life gods have gotten away with, Talos is a saint.

The problem is that there aren't any real life gods around to form a basis of comparison.

Stormcloaks for life! MOTHER**** da police! The empire was going to execute me...why join them?

You do realize that they weren't going to execute your char out of mere gratification right?
